Our Daily Trust...

There is such a thing as ‘memories of faith’. These are times when God showed up and fixed things in our past. These memories are the seedbed of our present trust in Him and His love for us. But sometimes when we face these a difficult challenge, we forget to summons those memories…
“You saw with your own eyes what He did for you in Egypt; you saw what He did in the wilderness, how God your God carried you as a father carries His child, carried you the whole way until you arrived here. But now that you’re here you won’t trust God your God” ~Deut. 1:30-32
God had done so much for Israel that it’s simply incalculable. His presence was constant and His miracles were astounding. Yet when the 12 spies came back discouragement in their tone the people simply fell apart. They went to their tents absolutely convinced that they were tricked by God and were there to be buried in the hot sand. It’s hard to fathom after God proved His love for them that they’d forget it in this moment. But they did! We can do the same thing too. All our fears and worries flow from the same faulty notion that this time we are alone to face this problem. To believe that we have to set aside our history with God’s love, but we do. And our trust waivers. Let me challenge you: Summons your memories of faith, recall that He didn’t drop you before and declare that He’s not going to drop you this time! God has earned OUR DAILY TRUST! ~Verlon
